DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1700Z November 25, 2007

Significant smoke and dust is not seen in GOES 12/11 satellite imagery
through 25/1700z across the US.

Southern California:
The smoke from the wildfires burning in southwest Los Angeles county
(Malibu area) is not able to be seen due to clouds moving into California
and blocking the view.

Unless otherwise indicated:
  • Areas of smoke are analyzed using GOES-EAST and GOES-WEST Visible satellite imagery.
  • Only a general description of areas of smoke or significant smoke plumes will be analyzed.
  • A quantitative assessment of the density/amount of particulate or the vertical distribution is not included.
  • Widespread cloudiness may prevent the detection of smoke even from significant fires.
